The Social Center of Your College Experience
Living on campus completes your college experience by allowing you to connect with friends, get involved, and interact with faculty and staff. All of our campus housing is suite-style—no communal restrooms here.
And you’ll be living very close to campus, never more than a five-minute walk to any of the academic buildings.
Our Residence Halls
Baker offers several living environments for students on the Baldwin City campus. From suites that are next to classrooms in the New Living Center to calling an apartment home, these are the places you’ll laugh, study, and meet friends you’ll have for the rest of your life.
A Positive & Enriching Environment
Assistant hall directors and resident assistant student staff provide advice and counsel as you adjust to college life. Each member of the staff plans and coordinates educational and social activities throughout the academic year.
